US Seeks Automaker Involvement in Weapons Production Amid Tensions with Iran

America's hand in the war that has spread to different parts of the world is no secret. The United States appears to be caught in the recent tensions with Iran, after which new preparations have begun in the United States. The Trump administration wants automakers and other American manufacturers to play a bigger role in making weapons. This US appeal is reminiscent of the practice used during World War II. According to people familiar with the conversation, senior defense officials have talked with top executives of several companies, including General Motors'Mary Barra and Ford Motor's Jim Farley, about making weapons and other military supplies. Let's say, this motors company has been providing vehicles to American security agencies for a long time. When stocks are low due to the wars in Ukraine and Iran, the Pentagon is interested in helping these companies increase the production of weapons and other equipment using their employees and factory capacity. According to the initial stage of the talks, these are large-scale defense companies, but according to the WSJ, the defense companies are in need of support.
